Cannot change from "Draft" to live event

I have an event that I duplicated from a previous event and saved it as a “DRAFT”. Once all the editing was accomplished, I could not change from “DRAFT” to “ACTIVE”. I tried to go back to the original event (which is now CLOSED, as registration is complete) and duplicated THAT event (essentially, to start over), but could not change the status from CLOSED to ACTIVE on the duplicated event. Deleting the first draft was not helpful, either, as now the edited draft was marked as “DELETED” and I cannot change THAT status to ACTIVE.
Any ideas?

Are you using Event Espresso 3? If so, you’ll need make sure that your event’s start, end, sale start, and sale end dates all follow this format:

Yes, I am using EE3.
Here are some screen-shots of the date format, as well as the Status screen:

Got it sorted. Thanks.
Had to go to the closed event (a past event that was then duplicated) and adjust all dates to future (i.e., not closed) and then I was able to post. Just seemed a little odd that I could not edit my original DRAFT event the same way.

Can you post a screenshot of the Quick Overview box after you change the Event Status: field to Public, then click Update Event?

You should be able to edit the draft event in the same way.
